Re: Re:
Yep, agreed, a pattern of bullying, a toxic working environment. The sexism was part of that picture.
Lots of faces to sexism as you know. I don't know at what point Hunt was brought into this but it's a completely different case and a complete distraction, in my opinion anyway.
And looks like Gollum and his merry men are brazening it out. Hopefully at the very least all of this has raised some awareness though. Maybe signs of this with the British swimmers now speaking out about the same behaviours. Corporate bullies everywhere. There's a book I've been meaning to get on this, a study on the typical personality types at the head of large organisations, the conclusion being that they would predominantly meet the clinical diagnosis criteria for psychopathy (I think the book might say sociopathy) and narcissistic personality disorder.

I'd agree with both the above. The difference however is actually nothing to do with sexism for me, but bullying. Hunt wasn't bullying. From all I've read, Sutton was. I'm pretty indifferent as to what gender is being bullied. It's unacceptable either way.
Sadly, the more time passes and the more Sky seem to be carrying on regardless with their endless winning classics and stage races alike, the more it seems as if SDB and his cronies will brazen it out because there isn't, after all, the appetite to 'cut off the withered arm' and see the whole 'Royal Mint' and 'Medal Factory' mythology being trashed.
I find it utterly perplexing why the current Cheese at BC is under any pressure when he's only been around 6 months. FFS - go after the reputations of the people who did the damage, not some poor idiot who's inherited the mess (albeit that he may well have done little to change it.)
